BACKGROUND Technology Field

The present disclosure relates to an electronic detection interface and an electronic detection module using the same. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an electronic detection interface and an electronic detection module using the same that are suitable for sorting the electronic devices with micron level or smaller electrodes.

Description of Related Art

The probe card is applied to the integrated circuit (IC) products before the cutting or packaging process. The probe of the probe card can perform the functional test for the chips on the wafer. Specifically, the probe card is a detection fixture provided for testing wafers of different designs, and the probe card includes test pins made of special alloys. In practice, the probe card is installed and electrically connected to a testing/function analysis device. Then, the wafer is moved onto the probe card, so that the test pins protrude and contact the chips of the wafer for testing the chips. An electrical path is formed between the chips, the testing device and the wafer to-be-tested, thereby allowing the testing device to apply currents to the chips of the wafer one-by-one for testing the chips individually. The position and characteristic data of each chip are recorded. Afterwards, the test device can further sort the tested chips based on various characteristics or reject defective products, and the packaging process can be followed. The IC technology has developed to the VLSI (Very Large Integrated Integration), ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration), and even GLSI (Giga Scale Integration), but the size reduction of the test pins cannot match the high-density developed integrated circuits due to the technical obstacles such as alloy materials and process accuracy. In general, the probe card is powered and detected the chips on the wafer one by one. Although the miniaturization technology of the test pins is improved, only five to ten pairs of test pins can be used for detecting corresponding number of chips at the same time, which is obviously not enough to cope with the development of high-density integrated circuits.

In addition, the Micro LED (μLED) used in the display technology is too small to be detected with the electrical properties, and cannot be performed with the functional test before transferring the array to the TFT substrate (hereinafter referred to as “detection before TFT substrate”). In other words, each pixel containing the μLED can be detected to obtain the characteristic data after transferring the array to the TFT substrate (hereinafter referred to as “detection after TFT substrate”). However, when the μLED appears as a single device, the requirements for wavelength and brightness control thereof are not so critical. However, due to the sensitivity of human eyes to color, wavelength and brightness, when viewing the μLED array, the un-sorted μLEDs can easy cause the defect such as unevenness, which further affects the visual effect. Therefore, it is very often to find display defects in the case of detection after TFT substrate, but it is difficult to judge whether the defects are caused by the μLED or its corresponding thin-film circuit. Moreover, with the development of nanotechnology and high-density display technology, the number of the nano-LED chips is expected to increase significantly, and it is more difficult to eliminate defects detected in the case of detection after TFT substrate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure will be apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same references relate to the same elements.

An electronic detection interface of this disclosure comprises a substrate structure and a plurality of detection units in array. The substrate structure includes a circuit film, which comprises a plurality of circuit units in array. The detection units are disposed on a surface of the substrate structure, and are corresponded to the circuit units in a respect manner. Each of the detection units includes at least one resilient conductive pillar, which is electrically connected to each circuit unit. Each resilient conductive pillar can be compressed and deformed.

Accordingly, the micro photoelectric chips or micro semiconductor chips can be electrically connected to the resilient conductive pillars for following detection. Afterwards, the micro photoelectric chips or micro semiconductor chips can be detected in an array detection or in a row by row detection. Therefore, the electronic detection interface, the electronic detection module and the electronic detection method of this disclosure can be applied to the high-density developed integrated circuits, and further utilize the image detecting units in a row or an array to detect the high-density developed micro photoelectric chips. The above-mentioned different aspects are all within the scope of the electronic detection interface and the electronic detection module of this disclosure. Different aspects of this disclosure will be described hereinafter.

[Electronic Detection Interface]

FIG. 1A is a top view of an electronic detection interface according to an embodiment of this disclosure, FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram showing a part of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1C is a schematic diagram showing a part of the substrate structure 100 of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1D is a partial sectional view along the line 1D-1D of FIG. 1B, and FIGS. 1E and 1F are partial section views of the electronic detection interfaces according to other embodiments of this disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 1A to 1C, in this embodiment, an electronic detection interface 10 comprises a substrate structure 100 and a plurality of detection units 202 in array. The substrate structure 100 includes a circuit film 140, which comprises a plurality of circuit units 142 in array. The detection units 202 are disposed on a surface S1 of the substrate structure 100. For example, the surface S1 can be the surface of the substrate structure 100 configured with the circuit film 140. The detection units 202 are corresponded to the circuit units 142 in a respect manner. Each of the detection units 202 includes at least one resilient conductive pillar 2022, which is electrically connected to each circuit unit 142. In this embodiment, the amount of the resilient conductive pillars 2022 corresponding to each circuit unit 142 is at least one or is equal to the amount of electrodes in the to-be-tested electronic element. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, each circuit unit 142 corresponds to a pair of resilient conductive pillars 2022 for detecting the electronic element with one or one pair of electrodes.

Specifically, the electronic detection interface 10 will be further described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B. The electronic detection interface 10 comprises a substrate structure 100 and a detection structure layer 200 including a plurality of detection units 202 in array. The substrate structure 100 includes a substrate 120 and a circuit film 140 configured on the substrate 120. The circuit film 140 comprises multiple rows (or multiple columns, or multiple intersected rows and columns) of traces (not labeled), and a plurality of circuit units 142 in array defined on the traces. Each of the detection units 202 includes at least one resilient conductive pillar 2022. The resilient conductive pillars 2022 of the detection units 202 correspond to the circuit units 142 of the circuit film 140 in a respect manner. As shown in FIG. 1C, each circuit unit 142 is defined on one intersection of the traces. Moreover, each circuit unit 142 can be further configured with a conductive pad (not shown) with respect to the corresponding resilient conductive pillar 2022. To be realized, the configuration of the conductive pads can improve the electrical connection between the traces and the resilient conductive pillars 2022 of the detection units 202, and/or define or identify the covering range of the circuit units 142. To be noted, the modifications of the circuit layouts (e.g. the intersections can be electrically in parallel or in series) are predictable, so this disclosure only illustrates that the resilient conductive pillars 2022 are individually electrically connected to the traces. Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B again, the detection structure layer 200 comprising the detection units 202 in array corresponds to the circuit film 140 comprising the circuit units 142 in array. The detection units 202 are disposed on the surface S1 of the substrate structure 100. In other words, the detection units 202 are disposed on the surface of the substrate 120 configured with the circuit film 140. The detection units 202 as shown in FIG. 1B correspond to the circuit units 142 as shown in FIG. 1C in a respect manner. Each of the detection units 202 is configured with at least one resilient conductive pillar 2022, which is electrically connected to the corresponding circuit unit 142. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, each detection unit 202 includes a pair of resilient conductive pillars 2022, and the resilient conductive pillars 2022 correspond to the circuit units 142 on the traces, respectively. Specifically, the resilient conductive pillars 2022 of each detection unit 202 correspond and electrically connect to the circuit units 142 on the row and column of the traces, respectively.

In this embodiment, the substrate 120 of the substrate structure 100 can be a glass substrate, and the circuitry of the circuit film 140 formed on the glass substrate can be a passive matrix (PM), which is formed by a thin-film process. To be noted, other processes, which have the cost equal to or lower than the thin-film process, can be used to replace the thin-film process. In addition, the selection of substrate 120 is not limited. For example, the substrate 120 can also be a silicon wafer substrate. That is, the circuitry of the circuit film 140 can be formed on a glass substrate and comprise an active matrix (AM) including transistors, or the circuitry of the circuit film 140 can be formed on a silicon wafer substrate to form a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS). The above-mentioned substitutions can achieve the same function, simplify the external receiving circuit, so they are still applied to the production even having higher cost than the passive type products.

As shown in FIG. 1D, the resilient conductive pillars 2022 are disposed on the glass substrate 120 of the substrate structure 100. The resilient conductive pillars 2022 are conductive photoresists, which are formed by adding the conductive material into the photoresist. The resilient conductive pillars 2022 can be made of positive or negative photoresist, and this disclosure is not limited. The conductive material comprises high-conductive metals such as copper, silver or alloys, which allows the resilient conductive pillars 2022 to be slightly compressed to deform per se, and to directly or indirectly (through the conductive pads 1422) electrically connect to the circuit film 140. Each resilient conductive pillar 2022 is defined with a height h, and the height h is 1-20 μm, or is 1-10 μm. In this embodiment, the height h is defined by, not limited thereto, the size of the to-be-tested micro semiconductor chip/micro photoelectric chip and the manufacturing precision. The height h is sufficient for meeting the deformation of the resilient conductive pillars 2022 after the slight compression. To be noted, the above-mentioned micro semiconductor chip/micro photoelectric chip comprises not only the case that the chip size is in the micro level (excluding the larger or smaller size, such as the millimeter level or nanometer level), but also the case that the chip size ranges from the millimeter level to the nanometer lever or smaller and the chip has the electrode size in the micro level (e.g. micrometers, tens micrometers, or hundreds micrometers) or smaller (e.g. nanometers, tens nanometers, or hundreds nanometers). That is, the millimeter level chip having micro level electrodes is within the scope of this disclosure.

In addition, the resilient conductive pillars 2022 are manufactured as a preset shape, such as the rectangular pillars, cylindrical pillars, or any of other shapes of pillars (not shown). To be noted, the manufactured resilient conductive pillars 2022 do not need to remain the original profile in the manufacturing process, but keep the pillar shape that can receive the force from the top thereof. The definition of receiving the force from the top includes to receive the vertical force parallel to the axis of the pillar body by the cone tip, convex arc, top surface, or top portion (located at the upper part of the pillar including the cone tip, convex arc, and top surface), or a non-vertical force that is not parallel to the axis of the pillar. The appearance of each resilient conductive pillar 2022 is not limited in this disclosure. In general, the upper portion of each resilient conductive pillar 2022 is formed as a corn tip, but it will become a convex arc or a planar top surface finally. As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1D, each resilient conductive pillar 2022 is further defined with a contact surface TS for contacting to the electrode of the micro semiconductor chip/micro photoelectric chip. The contact surface TS is defined with a width or diameter of 0.1-20 μm, or a width or diameter of 0.1-8 μm. To be understood, the appearance of the contact surface TS can be a planar surface, an arc surface, a corn surface, or any of other shapes that have enough area for contacting to the micro semiconductor chip/micro photoelectric chip, and this disclosure is not limited.

FIGS. 1E and 1F are schematic diagrams showing the substrate structures 100 a and 100 b of different embodiments. Regarding the substrate structure 100 a of FIG. 1E, each resilient conductive pillar 2022 a is disposed on the glass substrate 120 a of the substrate structure 100 a. Specifically, in this embodiment, the non-conductive photoresists 2022 a 1 in array are arranged on the glass substrate 120 a, and then a layer of continuous conductive layer 2022 a 2 is sputtered on the glass substrate 120 a for entirely covering each of the non-conductive photoresists 2022 a 1 in array. The non-conductive photoresists 2022 a 1 of the resilient conductive pillars 2022 a can be slightly compressed to deformation. In another possible aspect, the conductive layer 2022 a 2 can be a non-continuous layer, and the non-continuous conductive layer 2022 a 2 can reach the upper portions of the non-conductive photoresists 2022 a 1 to form the contact surfaces TS of the resilient conductive pillars 2022 a and to electrically connect the contact surfaces TS to the circuit film (not shown). In this case, each resilient conductive pillar 2022 a comprises a non-conductive photoresist 2022 a 1 and a conductive layer 2022 a 2 covering the non-conductive photoresist 2022 a 1. Regarding the substrate structure 100 b of FIG. 1F, the substrate structure 100 b comprises a substrate 120 b and a circuit film (not shown) formed on the substrate 120 b. The substrate 120 b comprises a glass substrate 120 b 1 and a flexible material 120 b 2 disposed on the glass substrate 120 b 1. Herein, the circuit film (not shown) can be formed on the flexible material 120 b 2. In this embodiment, the flexible material 120 b 2 can be slightly compressed to deformation and thus can be functioned as a buffer material. For example, the flexible material 120 b 2 can be a PI film, a PET film, or any of other buffer materials.

Referring to FIGS. 2, 3A and 3B, an electronic detection module 30 is installed and electrically connected to a function analysis device 40. The electronic detection module 30 comprises any of the electronic detection interface according to different aspects (the electronic detection interface 10 is used in this embodiment), and an image detecting device 32, which comprises a plurality of image detecting units 324 in array. The electronic detection interface 10 and the image detecting units 324 in array are individually installed and electrically connected to the function analysis device 40, and they are separately arranged along a predetermined direction with a predetermined distance d. The image detecting units 324 correspond to the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10 in a respect manner, and each of the image detecting units 324 captures at least one image parameter from the corresponding one of the detection units 202. The type and application of the function analysis device 40 are very broad, and are briefly described, but not limited, in this disclosure. In addition, the image detecting units 324 in array correspond to the detection units 202 in array for capturing the required image parameters, so that this embodiment has the advantage of high detection efficiency.

In this embodiment, FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram showing a part of the electronic detection module of FIG. 3A in the opposite viewing angle along the turnover direction Dt. The image detecting device 32 comprises a substrate structure 320 and a plurality of image detecting units 324 in array, which are formed on the substrate structure 320. Each image detecting unit 324 can be a CCD (Charge-coupled device), a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor), or any of other photosensitive elements that can capture the image and analyze the light intensity and wavelength. In addition, the image detecting device 32 can further provide the grating light-splitting system, Fourier Transform system, polarizer system, or the likes according to the amount and arrangement of the image detecting units 324, and this disclosure is not limited. Moreover, the image detecting device 32 can not only provide the photosensitive elements for capturing images (and analyzing the light intensity and wavelength), but also offer the function cooperating with the function analysis device 40. For example, the image detecting device 32 can directly transmit the captured at least one image parameter to the function analysis device 40, or the image detecting device 32 can pretreat the captured at least one image parameter and then transmit the pretreated image parameter to the function analysis device 40. This disclosure is not limited. In this disclosure, “to transmit the captured image parameter to the function analysis device” should be understood as “to directly or indirectly transmit the original data or the pretreated data to the function analysis device 40”. To be noted, “each of the image detecting units 324 captures at least one image parameter from the corresponding one of the detection units 202” should comprise the image parameters of the detection units 202, the micro photoelectric chips driven by the detection units 202, respectively (to be described hereinafter), or the detection units 202 and the micro photoelectric chips.

FIG. 4A shows the electronic detection module 30 a according to another embodiment. The electronic detection module 30 a comprises an electronic detection interface 10, and an image detecting device 32 a comprising a plurality of image detecting units 324 a in a row. The electronic detection interface 10 and the row of image detecting units 324 a are individually installed and electrically connected to the function analysis device, and they are also separately disposed. FIG. 4B is a schematic diagram showing a part of the electronic detection module of FIG. 4A in the opposite viewing angle along the turnover direction Dt. The image detecting device 32 a comprises a substrate structure 320 a and a plurality of image detecting units 324 a in a row (single row), which are formed on the substrate structure 320 a. The row of image detecting units 324 a correspond to one row of the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10 in a respect manner. Each image detecting unit 324 a in the row of image detecting units 324 a captures at least one image parameter from the corresponding detection unit 202. In this embodiment, the image detecting units 324 a in a row can capture the image parameters of only one row of the detection units 202, or capture the image parameters of the array of the detection units 202 row by row (a stepwise manner). In other words, the single row of image detecting units 324 a can repeatedly capture different rows of the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10 for obtaining all image parameters. In addition, the configuration of image detecting units in a row has lower cost than the configuration of image detecting units in array. To be noted, “a row of image detecting units 324 a” could be comprehended as “a row in an array”; “couple rows of image detecting units 324 a” could be comprehended as “an array” or “a tiny array in an array”.

Specifically, in the electronic detection module 30, 30 a, the electronic detection interface 10 and the image detecting device 32, 32 a are preferably separately disposed. However, the surface of the image detecting device 32, 32 a facing the electronic detection interface 10 and configured with the detection units 202 or the opposite surface thereof can be determined based on the amount and aspect of the to-be-tested micro photoelectric chips or the manufacturing conditions, and this disclosure is not limited. In this disclosure, the image detecting device 32, 32 a is enough to capture the image parameters of the to-be-tested micro photoelectric chips.

The wafer 60 is configured with a plurality of micro semiconductor chips 62 in array, and each micro semiconductor chip 62 comprises at least one electrode 622. FIG. 6C shows that each micro semiconductor chip 62 comprises a single electrode 622.

The step S14 is to flip the wafer 60 on the electronic detection interface 10 so that the micro semiconductor chips 62 of the wafer 60 are corresponded to the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10 in a respect manner as shown in FIG. 6A.

The step S16 is to gradually attach the wafer 60 to the electronic detection interface 10 until at least one electrode 622 of each of the micro semiconductor chips 62 selected as the detection base is slightly contacted or compressed against at least one resilient conductive pillar 2022 of the corresponding one of the detection units 202 so as to electrically connect to each other. Herein, a part or all of the micro semiconductor chips 62 are preselected as the detection base before the step S16.

Specifically, in the step S10, the electronic detection interface 10 is installed on a working stage 42 of the function analysis device 40 and is electrically connected to the function analysis device 40. In addition, a part or all of the micro semiconductor chips 62 of the wafer 60 can be preselected as the detection base in the step S12, the step S14, or the step S16. The detection base is the base for performing the total detection or the partial detection of the micro semiconductor chips 62 disposed on the wafer 60 according to the actual requirement. For example, the detection base can be at least one row of the micro semiconductor chips 62. Furthermore, it is possible to detect the micro semiconductor chips 62 preselected as the detection base optionally by detection at once or by multiple detections. For example, the electronic detection interface 10 can be powered on in in array or be powered on row by row.

In this disclosure, the micro semiconductor chips 62 comprise the micro semiconductor structures other than the micro photoelectric chips that can emit light (including visible and/or invisible light). After electrically connecting the wafer 60 and the electronic detection interface 10, it is possible to operate the function analysis device (not shown) to obtain at least one electrical parameter of the micro semiconductor chips 62 selected as the detection base of the wafer 60. In this embodiment, the wafer 60 containing the micro semiconductor chips 62 can further cooperate with an image detecting device (not shown) for capturing the image parameter(s) of one micro semiconductor chip 62, each of the micro semiconductor chips 62, or the entire wafer 60, thereby feeding back the information such as the wafer alignment or other defects.

In the step S16, the wafer 60 corresponds to the electronic detection interface 10, and the (one or more) electrodes 622 of the micro semiconductor chips 62 within the to-be-tested base correspond to the resilient conductive pillars 2022 of the detection units 202 in a respect manner. As shown in FIG. 6C, each micro semiconductor chip 62 includes a single electrode 622, so each detection unit 202 can be configured with a single resilient conductive pillar 2022 for corresponding to the single electrode 622. Alternatively, each micro semiconductor chip 62 may include a pair of electrodes 622, and one of the resilient conductive pillars 2022 corresponds to the single electrode 622 of the corresponding micro semiconductor chip 62. To be noted, the micro semiconductor chips 62 must correspond to the detection units 202 in a respect manner for implementing the above electrical connection. The wafer 60 and the electronic detection interface 10 are gradually attached to each other until the electrode 622 of each micro semiconductor chip 62 preselected as the detection base is electrically connected to the resilient conductive pillar 2022 of the corresponding detection unit 202 so as to electrically connect to each other (the respect manner). Herein, the electrode 622 can be slightly contacted or compressed against the resilient conductive pillar 2022 to deformation so as to electrically connect to each other. Accordingly, when the entire wafer 60 is slightly curved, or the heights of the micro semiconductor chips 62 or the electrodes 622 of the micro semiconductor chips 62 are varied caused by the process precision, the chip tilting, or the curved wafer, the resilient conductive pillars 2022 can provide the deformable property caused by slight compression for obtaining the buffer function. This configuration can prevent the short circuit of the resilient conductive pillars 2022 caused by the tilting or breaking of the structure, so that all of the micro semiconductor chips 62 within the to-be-tested base can be electrically connected to the corresponding resilient conductive pillars 2022. To be noted, the substrate structure of the electronic detection interface 10 can be further configured with the flexible substrate as mentioned above for further improving the buffer effect. In addition, the step of gradually attaching can be carried out by moving either one or both of the wafer 60 and the electronic detection interface 10, thereby gradually decreasing the distance therebetween.

Referring to FIG. 5B, when a part of the micro semiconductor chips 62 of the wafer 60 are preselected as the detection base, the unselected part of the micro semiconductor chips 62 of the wafer 60 can also be tested additionally. In addition, the micro semiconductor chips 62 within the preselected detection base can be further optionally detected row by row. Different from the embodiment of FIG. 5A, the step S16 a of FIG. 5B preselects a part of the micro semiconductor chips 62 as the detection base, and an additional step S18 a is performed after the step S16 a. The step S18 a is to determine whether the detection procedure ends or not. If not, the detection procedure returns to the step S16 a to select the residual part of the micro semiconductor chips 62 as the detection base to optionally perform a single detection or multiple detection.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart of the electronic detection method for detecting micro photoelectric chips with the electronic detection module according to an embodiment of this disclosure; and FIGS. 8A to 8C are schematic diagrams showing the arrangement according to the electronic detection method of FIG. 7 .

Referring to FIG. 7 , the electronic detection method of this embodiment comprises the steps S20˜S26, which will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 8A.

The step S20 is to prepare an electronic detection module 30. As shown in FIG. 8A, the electronic detection module 30 comprises any of the above-mentioned electronic detection interfaces (e.g. the electronic detection interface 10 in this embodiment), and an image detecting device 32 comprising a plurality of image detecting units 324 in array as shown in FIG. 3B. The electronic detection module 30 is installed and electrically connected to a function analysis device 40.

The step S22 is to provide a to-be-tested wafer 70. FIG. 8B is a partial schematic diagram of FIG. 8A in the opposite viewing angle along the turnover direction Dt. The wafer 70 is configured with a plurality of micro photoelectric chips 72 in array, and each micro photoelectric chip 72 comprises at least one electrode 722.

The step S24 is to flip the wafer 70 on the electronic detection interface 10, so that the micro photoelectric chips 72 of the wafer 70 are corresponded to the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10 of the electronic detection module 30 in a respect manner.

The step S26 is to gradually attach the wafer 70 to the electronic detection interface 10 of the electronic detection module 30 until at least one electrode 722 of each of the micro semiconductor chips 72 selected as the detection base is slightly contacted or compressed against at least one resilient conductive pillar 2022 of the corresponding one of the detection units 202 so as to electrically connect to each other. At the same time, each of the image detecting units 324 of the electronic detection module 30 captures the at least one image parameter from the corresponding one of the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10. Herein, a part or all of the micro photoelectric chips 72 are preselected as the detection base before the step S26, and the at least one image parameter is captured from each of the micro photoelectric chips 72.

Most of this embodiment and various modified aspects thereof can be referred to the above embodiments and aspects. Different from the above embodiments and aspects, in this embodiment as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the wafer 70 comprises a plurality of micro photoelectric chips 72 capable of emitting light (including visible and/or invisible light), and the electronic detection module 30 has the photo detection function for detecting the micro photoelectric chips 72. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the micro photoelectric chip 72 comprises two electrodes 722, which can correspond to the pair of resilient conductive pillars 2022 of the corresponding detection unit 202. To be noted, the micro photoelectric chips 72 must correspond to the detection units 202 in a respect manner for implementing the above electrical connection. In this embodiment, a part of the micro photoelectric chips 72 of the wafer 70 can be preselected as the detection base. For example, at least one row of the micro photoelectric chips 72 can be preselected as the detection base, and the judgement step in the flow chart of FIG. 5B can also be applied. The detailed description thereof will be omitted in this embodiment.

To be noted, the light emitted from the micro photoelectric chips 72 may penetrate through the wafer substrate. For example, when the micro photoelectric chip 72 is a blue μLED chip and the substrate of the micro photoelectric chip 72 is a sapphire substrate (Al₂O₃), the blue light (visible light) emitted from the blue μLED chip can penetrate through the sapphire substrate (function as a light-permeable substrate). In addition, when the micro photoelectric chip 72 is an IR μLED chip and the substrate of the micro photoelectric chip 72 is a silicon substrate, the IR light (invisible light) emitted from the IR μLED chip can penetrate through the silicon substrate (function as a light-permeable substrate). In the step S22 or S24, the wafer 70 can be disposed between the electronic detection interface 10 and the image detecting units 324, or the wafer 70 and the electronic detection interface 10 can be disposed at the same surface with respect to the image detecting units 324, and this disclosure is not limited thereto only if the image detecting device 32 can capture the image parameter of the to be detected micro photoelectric chip 72. Alternatively, the light emitted from the micro photoelectric chips 72 may not penetrate through the wafer substrate. For example, when the micro photoelectric chip 72 is a red μLED chip and the substrate of the micro photoelectric chip 72 is a GaAs substrate, the red light (visible light) emitted from the red μLED chip cannot penetrate through the GaAs substrate (function as a nontransparent substrate). In the step S22 or S24, the wafer 70 is preferably disposed between the electronic detection interface 10 and the image detecting units 324, so that the image detecting device 32 can capture the image parameter of the to be detected micro photoelectric chip 72.

The image parameter of the micro photoelectric chip 72 comprises the light intensity (including the lighting element, non-lighting element, visible light, or invisible light) and wavelength for identifying the brightness and chroma of the micro photoelectric chip 72.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart of the electronic detection method for detecting micro photoelectric chips with the electronic detection module according to another embodiment of this disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 9 , the electronic detection method of this embodiment comprises the following steps S30˜S36.

The step S30 is to prepare an electronic detection module 30 a. In this embodiment, the electronic detection module 30 a comprises any of the above-mentioned electronic detection interfaces (e.g. the electronic detection interface 10 in this embodiment), and an image detecting device 32 a comprising a plurality of image detecting units 324 a in a row as shown in FIG. 4A. The electronic detection module 30 a is installed and electrically connected to a function analysis device 40.

The step S32 is to provide a to-be-tested wafer 70. The wafer 70 is configured with a plurality of micro photoelectric chips 72 in array, and each micro photoelectric chip 72 comprises at least one electrode 722.

The step S34 is to flip the wafer 70 on the electronic detection interface 10, so that the row of image detecting units 324 a are corresponded to one row of the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10 in a respect manner, and the micro photoelectric chips 72 of the wafer 70 are corresponded to the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10 of the electronic detection module 30 a in a respect manner.

The step S36 is to gradually attach the wafer 70 to the electronic detection interface 10 of the electronic detection module 30 a until at least one electrode 722 of each of the micro semiconductor chips 72 selected as the detection base is slightly contacted or compressed against at least one resilient conductive pillar 2022 of the corresponding one of the detection units 202 so as to electrically connect to each other. At the same time, each of the image detecting units 324 a of the electronic detection module 30 a captures the at least one image parameter from the corresponding one of the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10. Herein, a part or all of the micro photoelectric chips 72 are preselected as the detection base before the step S36, and the at least one image parameter is captured from each of the micro photoelectric chips 72.

Most of this embodiment and various modified aspects thereof can be referred to the above-mentioned electronic detection method. Different from the above-mentioned electronic detection method, in this embodiment, a plurality of image detecting units 324 a in a row are functioned as the photosensitive elements, and the detection base is detected row by row, or tiny array by tiny array. Accordingly, the image parameters of the entire detection based selected by the detection units 202 of the electronic detection interface 10 can be captured.

To be noted, when the above-mentioned electronic detection interface, electronic detection module and electronic detection method are used for detecting the micro semiconductor chips/micro photoelectric chips, each chip usually comprises multiple electrodes as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C. In addition, regarding the μLED chips with a single electrode as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, the corresponding detection unit 202 b can be configured with a single resilient conductive pillar 2022 b as shown in FIG. 10 .

When the chips or chip electrodes are nanometerized and has high density development, the corresponding resilient conductive pillars are needed. The resilient conductive pillars 2022, 2022 a, 2022 b exemplified in the present disclosure can be miniaturized in manufacturing (referring to the width or diameter of the contact surface or the height of pillars defined hereinabove) and have the resilient property and the buffer function, so that the wafer with slight curve can still be tested. In addition, if the heights of the micro semiconductor chips/the micro photoelectric chips or the heights of the electrodes of the micro semiconductor chips/the micro photoelectric chips are varied and cannot provide a planar surface, a part or all of the resilient conductive pillars can be deformed to electrically connected with the micro semiconductor chips/the micro photoelectric chips within the detection base. Accordingly, the electronic detection interface, the electronic detection module and the electronic detection method of this disclosure can be applied to fast test the micro semiconductor chips/the micro photoelectric chips for determining the defects, thereby achieving the advantages of decreasing cost, increasing production yield, and reducing working hours.
